I sort of surprised that you haven't converted to Hinduism.  After 
all, the Bhagavad-gita proclaims that Jehovah and Jesus are just pranks 
played by Vishnu/Krishna, so you don't have to abandon them.  And the 
"orthodox" Hindu view on abortion (as found in the Manu-smriti) holds 
that every period a woman has is the blood of an innocent human life 
snuffed out before it could begin and is proof of her (and her husband's) 
deliberate and culpably negligent killing of a human being.  Since this 
"out-catholics" the catholics, I'm sure you would approve.

 (answer continued) By the way I'll tell you why I can't accept 
Hinduism. In the Hindu paradigm we are all part of God (Brahman). We 
are ignorant. Therefore God (Brahman) would have to be ignorant. I've 
never heard a good answer to this objection.
